     This is an example intended to show how to access the Lotame ReST API.

     We use simple classes available in the PHP 5.3.6 distro for simplicity

     There may be more efficient ways to parse the XML and JSON, especially using other
     libraries, but that is not the focus of the example.

     This example also does not include an error handling - You should
     make sure that you do include error handling with any code, but especially
     when working with an external API!
